Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 13 to 18.
In the UK, jokes and tricks can be played up until noon on 1 April. After midday
it's considered bad luck to play a trick. Anyone who forgets this and tries a joke in
the afternoon becomes an 'April Fool' themselves.
So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling
your friend that their shoelaces are undone. Then, when they bend down to do
them up, you shout, 'April Fool!', and they realize their shoelaces are fine. Maybe
it's not your kind of humor, but watch out, there's always someone who will find it
funny! In Ireland, a popular prank is to send someone on a 'fool's errand'. The
victim is sent to deliver a letter, supposedly asking for help. When the person
receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor messenger that they will
have to take the letter to another person. This continues and the victim ends up
taking the message to several different people until someone feels sorry for them
and shows them what the letter says: 'Send the fool to someone else.'
In France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada
and Switzerland, the 1* April tradition is known as the 'April Fish'. A common
joke is to try to stick to a paper fish onto a victim's back without being noticed.
Question 13. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Tricks to be played on April Fool's Day in U.K.
B. Ways to play pranks on people in different countries.
CTeenagers' pranks on April Fool's Day.
D. What people do on April Fool's Day.
Question 14. What does "stick to" mean?
A. cut
B. move
C. establish
D. attach
Question 15. What is the popular prank in Ireland on April Fool's Day?
A. Telling someone about undone shoelaces.
B.Sending someone to deliver a letter.
C. Shouting out "April Fool".
D. Putting a paper fish on someone's back.
Question 16. The victim in the Irish prank will stop sending the letter until...........
A. he opens the letter
